From 21 of November 2017 Sofia University Library provides trial access to PASSPORT – global data base for market research of Euromonitor International. Euromonitor International is a leading company for market research, providing information, necessary for strategy planning of the industry, economics, companies and the consumers. The issued researches are widely used among the scientific community of leading colleges, universities, business schools and academic research centres all over the world.

From 9 November 2017 the Bulgarian scientific community is left without access to the full collection of journals by the global scientific publisher SpringerNature. The reason for that is that the Ministry of Education and Science is not in a position to continue renewal negotiations due to financial constraints.

The Ministry of Education and Science and the SpringerNature publisher hope, in spite of this unpleasant development of relations, to find a common way out of this situation and the valuable collection of scientific publications to be available again for Bulgarian scientists in the longer term.
